Location and pool service

No lagoon for snorkeling! This was not made clear when booking

Only ok, doesn’t deserve any star rating. Very basic.

5.0

Good location. Luau was amazing.

Staff not friendly. Protest outside the property by the staff probably explains their grumpiness. Even accounting for the construction it was smelly, not very comfortable, not spacious, very very basic accommodation, balconies didn’t feel safe and not modernized in any way. Insufficient towels in the rooms based on the number of people. I’ve stayed in one star places that were better equipped and accommodated for than this is.

9.0

Loved the view from our room. Pool was very warm and pleasant just wish it was open later. Wanted more water fillers. Asked for early check in but that didn’t happen.

Asked for early check in and that didn’t happen. Not enough water fillers. Tide pool was closed

Great location. No service

5.0

The employees at restaurant were polite but refused to serve. How come? They said they are busy.

Location. That’s all.

位置好

有陈旧的地方需要改进。 我在booking.com 预定时,已经付了城市税,resort fee, 酒店退房后再次收取。正和Booking.com 以及酒店方沟通索取退款中, 还不知道能不能退款。
